You've got the equipment. You search the surroundings for a perfect backdrop and click. But what happened? The light is dim, the picture not centered, and the focal point questionable.

You try changing a few settings on your digital camera but the result doesn't seem to be improved. I know what you might be thinking? If I only had a better digital camera like the new Canon EOS 7D or Nikon D5000. But would this really make a difference?

Without knowing your exact digital camera specifications I cannot answer 100% but my experience with digital camera photography would suggest that the camera does not make the shot, the photographer does.

So then, how can you become the digital photography master that you crave to be? I recommend a few good tips and a great course to provide a reference to provide all the secret details that the professional photographer knows.

1. Megapixels -Megapixels in at least the 5 to 6mp range provide the best solution for a family digital photographer that may take that perfect shot and want to blow it up. Megapixels higher then 6mp are great but might be over-kill for the usual digital photographer and should not be the most important consideration in a digital camera purchase. Keep in mind that a photographer that takes a blurry image would do so no matter what mega pixel camera he is using. This verifies the importance of learning the functions of your camera and adding photography tips and possibly a photography course. Knowing what to put in the view finder is twice as important as how clearly you can see the non-perfect image.

2. Zoom is another important consideration with digital cameras. First is the optical zoom, which relies on the lens itself to magnify the light coming in so that the image at a distance appears larger and closer in the final image and second is the digital zoom that takes the final image and magnifies it after the fact. With this in mind an optical zoom is much more important than a digital zoom and larger is not always better.

3. There are many tips that a photographer can use to improve the final product but the final tip in this article is for use on outside shots. One of the great hidden features on digital cameras is the fill flash or turning the flash mode 'on'. By being brave enough to take control of the flash your outdoor portraits will be much improved. With flash on mode, the camera exposes for the background first, and then adds just enough flash to illuminate your subjects. Presto! A professional looking picture.

Whether you are a relatively new photographer or the designated family photographer that takes over the snapping at all family events remember that some of the best images are those captured by mistake. Your only guarantee in capturing those best moments is for the photographer is get to know your tool (the camera) and educate yourself so you will be able to make snap decisions as you capture every moment.

Digital Photography: Healthy Eating

People who are new to digital photography are likely to always take pictures holding the camera the same way, which is laterally. Shots done this way are called landscape shots and they are fine for some subjects but often it is better to turn the camera and use a portrait shot. If you are new to digital photography, holding the camera the right way may be something you do not understand. Many photographers change the way they are holding the camera in digital photography to create unique photographs. You should experiment with the way you hold the camera. That said, you should stick to the landscape and portrait methods of holding the camera if you are new to digital photography. The right orientation for your digital camera for a specific shot is going to depend on what position the subject is in and if they are moving.

The basic principle of photography is to focus on your subject and avoid as much as possible other details in the photograph so there is no distraction from the subject. In some cases, you can avoid these distractions by holding the camera differently so you do not have to get closer to the subject or edit the photograph later on. For subjects who are standing up, you want to use a portrait orientation most of the time. That way, you do not get distracting items in the photograph on the sides of the subject. If a subject is sitting or lying down, you will want to change the orientation to landscape to avoid distractions from the top and bottom of the subject.

When you are taking photographs in nature, you need to consider the orientation as well. A tree, for example, on its own is best photographed using a portrait orientation so nothing else takes away from the subject. A mountain scene, a field or a covered bridge is better photographed using the landscape orientation, however. You also have to take into account how a subject is moving if you are photographing an active subject. A subject moving left to right should be photographed with a landscape orientation. A subject moving up and down is best photographed using a portrait orientation.

Let's say you are photographing an animal that is moving along a path in the park and you want to capture the feeling that the subject is moving off towards the horizon. In this case, you will need to use a portrait orientation to capture the movement. You can also use a landscape orientation if you want the animal to appear to be moving horizontally down the path. In this situation, you have to consider the way the subject is moving, as well as what you are trying to capture, when deciding on the photo's orientation.

Rules are meant to be broken and the same is true for rules about holding a camera during digital photography. If you get used to holding the camera the right way, you can then move on to being creative and taking chances when photographing your subjects.

Detroit Tigers Baseball

Filed under: General — @ 10:00 am

A guest post by my buddy Franklin Thomas.

The Detroit Tigers are one of the best baseball teams in the United States. They might not have the best year every year but that has not stopped them from trying their best. Fans of the Detroit Tigers have recently been hit by a death of their former pitcher Jose Lima. I was not as avid of a Tigers fan when he was a player but many longtime fans cannot believe he has died.

Another great reason to be a fan of the Detroit Tigers is the beautiful new ball park. Comerica Park is one of the most modern and clean ball parks in MLB. Cameras were installed so that video could be shot effortlessly and fans could get as close to the field as possible. Seats at the games are very competitive in price. Most of the time I watch baseball on directtv channels. I can feel it, the Tigers will be making it to post season play this year!

Are Submit Edge services really good for websites?

Filed under: General — @ 9:57 am

I first became aware of SubmitEdge when a friend told me about this service. He had launched his website and was benefiting from large number of visitors. Some of these visitors were also buying the things available on his website so he was making a significant amount of money. I wanted to make that money on my website as well so I decided to follow his advice and sign up with the company.

Directory Submission was the first service that I signed up for. I wanted my website to rank higher so that it could attract more traffic. People at the company offered a flawless service in this regard. They first identified the problems that I had with my website and the lack of quality content and strategic placement of keywords. They guided me on how to change the content and redid my website in such a manner that it now ranks higher in searches.

SEO Firm has solved my problems. Although I do not get as much traffic as my friend but I am surely on the path to success. I will also like to recommend other people to consider seeking the services of the company.

Lost’s Season One Finale

Filed under: General — @ 9:21 am

The last episode in season one, entitled ‘The Greater Good’, leaves viewers with some pretty strong questions about the island. As always the writers of Lost leave viewers begging for more answers. By this time most viewers start to realize that while a greater picture is being laid out, the show continues on more of a haphazard style. I usually watch this show on satellite tv because I have the option of recording it on my DVR.

In this episode the survivors start to question the morality of Locke. Many of them believe that he killed Boone and lied about it. Boone, no longer there to defend him, was really the closest character to Locke. Locke seems to continue his obsession with the hatch in the ground but refuses to tell anyone about it. After Shannon asks Sayid to avenge her brother, Sayid starts to interrogate Locke about what happened in the woods. Locke tells him about the plane and Sayid insists Locke take him there. Once there further questions from Sayid convinces Locke to reveal that he was the one to attack Sayid on the mountain and destroy his tracking equipment.

Sayid tries to convince Shannon that Locke is innocent but Shannon decides to take matters into her own hands. She steals the lock box key from Jack and confronts Locke in the jungle with a gun. Sayid tackles Shannon and the bullet barely misses Locke. I am sure that this will start to destroy Shannon and Sayid’s relationship.

On another part of the island Micheal and Jin are preparing the raft. They claim that the second raft (the first one was destroyed in the fire set by Walter) will be ready very soon. This season does not cover the voyage of the raft but I am sure we will see it back again in season two.

Coffee Drinkers – Drink More Coffee.

Do you drink coffee only when the weather outside is “frightful” – or, do you drink coffee on a regular basis no matter what the weather’s like?

Those of us in the food and beverage industry notice a decline in the consumption of coffee when the weather starts to warm up. After all, coffee is primarily a hot beverage. (But – with the prolific growth of the chilled coffee market, you can satisfy your coffee junkie urges even during hot weather.)

Well, there’s a study out about coffee (another one!) that seems to imply, among other things, that drinking coffee helps keep a person alert and focused. (Maybe cutting our coffee consumption during the summer is the reason we seem to do more stupid things when its hot outside.)

The study says that drinking caffeinated coffee can temporarily sharpen your focus and memory. (None of that caffeine free stuff – just the premium leaded.)

But there is a catch! The increased focus and memory association in coffee has not been observed in men.

“The medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, found the effects of coffee may be longer lasting - specifically in women. At the end of this four-year study, researchers found that women age 65 and older who drank more than three cups of coffee per day (or the caffeine equivalent in tea) had 33% less decline in memory over time than women who drank one cup or less of coffee or tea per day.

This is exciting news for women, though it’s certainly too premature to recommend caffeine as a memory cure-all. And it’s important to point out that this study found no protective effect for true dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.”

The researchers say that the most likely reason for the difference in results in the consumption of coffee for men and women is that men and women metabolize caffeine differently.

So, ladies, if you want to retain your focus and memory longer, you gotta drink at least two cups of caffeinated coffee every day. As for the men, well, we don’t have anything to focus on – or remember. Our wives do that for us already.
